Cesar Ramos-Cedeno is compiling a guide to genetic-algorithm
resources on the Internet. Discussion lists include evolutionary-
computing@mailbase.ac.uk, GA-LIST@aic.nrl.navy.mil, and GA-
MOLECULE@tammy.harvard.edu. (Use the -request suffix to sign up.)
Also GA-Digest (via GA-List) and comp.ai.genetic. LibGA 1.00 and
a GA Software Guide can be FTP'd from /pub/galist/src/ga on
ftp.aic.nrl.navy.mil. [cramos@conicit.ve, CYBSYS-L, 8/16/93.]

A new Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource
Guides has been formed by UMichigan's library. Examples are W.
Drew's "Not Just Cows" (for agriculture) and Michael Strangelove's
"The Electric Mystic's Guide to the Internet" (for religious
studies). The guides have been WAIS-indexed. FTP them from
/inetdirs on una.hh.lib.umich.edu or access them via the UMichigan
gopher. [Lou Rosenfeld (lou@umich.edu), PACS-L, 9/3/93.]

John December has updated his extensive list of Internet
services related to computer-mediated communications. FTP
file internet-cmc.readme from pub/communications on ftp.rpi.edu.
[decemj@aix02.ecs.rpi.edu, net-hap, 8/18/93.]

If you need to send email to foreign colleagues, you may
want the revised 3rd edition (9/2/93) of "!%@:: A Directory of
Electronic Mail Addressing & Networks" by Donnalyn Frey and Rick
Adams. Gateway formats are given for over 180 networks. FTP
internetwork-mail-guide from /pub on csd4.csd.uwm.edu. [net-hap,
9/2/93.]

To find network-accessible BBSs, send an empty
subject/message to bbslist@aug3.augsburg.edu. You will receive
"Not Another List?!?!?!?!!!"; also Yanoff's list of special
Internet services, and the somewhat-dated "Zamfield's Wonderfully
Incomplete, Complete BBS List." Topical BBSs are listed in the
Broadcasting/Journalism BBS List, retrieved with a "get media
bbslist f=mail" command to listserv@ulkyvm.bitnet. One of the
better BBSs is from UOklahoma: telnet oubbs.telecom.uoknor.edu
(129.15.3.10) or dial (405) 325-6128. (You can also FTP
files from oubbsftp.telecom.uoknor.edu.) [Dana Noonan
(noonan@msus1.bitnet), NNEWS@vm1.nodak.edu, 6/23/93. net-hap.]
(Good dial-up BBS lists may be found in Boardwatch magazine.)
